Sentences with phrase «hundreds of metres >»

If the 1.441 mm depth had warmed by 0.700 C same as the ocean - air interface then oceans would gain no heat, but the massive colder oceans below will only let 1.441 mm to < several tens - to - hundreds of metres > depth warm by 0.697 C and only when the entire ocean has warmed by 0.700 C in a few thousand years will it let that 1.441 mm depth warm the final 0.003 C and stop heat gain with 4,100 ZettaJoules of heat having been added to the oceans, enough to melt 13,666,666 cubic kilometres of ice.

Year 2013: surface skin has wamed a tiny fraction of 1C (not shown for comparison simplicity) and ocean mixing will not permit it to balance within 0.003 C at the sub-skin (maybe also ocean happens to mix heat down a tad faster due to a natural variation), now will only let 1.441 mm to < several tens - to - hundreds of metres > depth warm by 0.69462 C instead of prior 0.697 C (ocean - air interface at 0.70000 C).
